3:10 to Yuma

[Miss Vicky]

Anybody see this one yet? I just got back and, let me just say, I LOVED IT!

Yeah, there's robberies and gunfights and all that, but the focus of this film is on the relationship of mutual respect - and distrust - between the two main characters. One, an outlaw named Ben Wade (Russell Crowe), is on his way to catch the 3:10 to Yuma Prison where the noose awaits him. The other, a struggling rancher, family man, and former Union sharpshooter named Dan Evans (Christian Bale) volunteers - with the promise of $200.00 for his services - to transport the dangerous outlaw to the town of Contention, where they will meet the 3:10 to Yuma. Both actors bring a level of intensity to their characters that is riveting to watch. You just can't take your eyes off of either of them.
